Last night was the first night I had NO cancer dreams!! Could this mean that life AC (after cancer) is beginning?
So after my day spent with the vampires, I had to head to TIA for a trip to visit a prospect in Birmingham. It's a cool town but this was a quick in/out trip. So the plane was supposed to leave at 6:50 and arrive at 7:30 (they are Central time). We board (plane was 15 minutes late) and then sit there for 2 hours. Nice. Finally get to Birmingham at 9:45. By the time I got the car and drove to the hotel, it was 10:30 (11:30 for me). I am starving but it's too late. I crash.
Up in early AM and chowed down on the breakfast. Then off to prospect who is supposed to be 4 blocks from hotel. I allow 30 minutes to get there to be on the safe side. Can't find it. Call salesman (he drove in) only to find my address is a satellite office. Back to hotel business center and Google maps. Off I go. Fortunately, it is only 10 minutes away. Whew. Ended up 25 minutes late. HATE to be late.
Back at the airport for a 5PM flight. Supposed to get into TIA at 7:30. We board...and sit...and sit...and sit. Finally we take off and land at 9:30. Home by 10. So I had two 12 hour+ days in a row. Ugh.
But yesterday was great. We went to the marina and joined friends Betsy and Tom on their boat. We motored over to Gulfport and docked. They were having their Art Walk (first Friday) so we walked around, listened to different bands then had dinner at Backfin Blue. LOVE their crabcakes. Then back to their condo for Key Lime Pie then home. A great evening.
Tonight is GreenFlash at the Porpoise Pub then tomorrow is....
Prep for the colonoscopy. UGHHH! The doc was going to make me drink a GALLON of that stuff but I put my foot down and said:
'Look, I weigh 110 lbs. I have had diarrhea for 4 months. If I drink all of that you will be visiting me in the hospital Sunday afternoon.' Mind you, a gallon is what they give a 300 lb person to drink!!!
He relented and said 1/2 gallon. Right. I am doing a quart, maybe. That will be plenty. So the center called me up to remind me and to tell me clear liquid diet Sunday, nothing after midnight. Marty's band is at Jimmy B's 2-7:30 so I asked her if beer was a clear liquid. She said yes but to overdo it. So I am doing the clean-out in the morning then heading to Jimmy B's around 4. Should be mostly OK by then.
Marty is taking me to the center. The stupid thing isn't until 11. I will be VERY thirsty by then.
